Chapter 135 The Great Court Meeting (Part 1)
The steward turned back to Fang Jun, cupped his hands, and said with a flattering smile: "Erlang is still upright! I will report this matter to my prince."
When he thought about it, Fang Jun wanted to make peace with his prince. Otherwise, why would he buy the bullock cart and give it to the prince's palace? As for the sour poem, it doesn't sound fancy at all, but it does correspond to Fang Jun's status. What other good poems can he write based on this stickman 250?
No one among the officials who were watching interrupted. Everyone had some opinions on the tyranny of the Wei Palace. At this time, the steward looked at him with a strange expression.
Report back to your prince?
Haha, it would be considered kind of King Wei not to peel off your skin...
The look in Fang Jun's eyes was also a little different.
This kid was too damaged. He was probably afraid that the Prince of Wei would make up for it when he reacted, so he confirmed the forced purchase of bamboo charcoal, making it impossible for the Prince of Wei to make amends.
Fang Jun smiled brightly, not looking like he had just been exposed to bad water. He was as pure and pure as he could be: "It's getting late, the steward should drive the ox cart into the city quickly. If His Highness the King of Wei is delayed in burning charcoal for heating, I'm afraid that Isn’t it beautiful...”
The manager was very happy, and Fang Jun, who felt that he was arrogant and domineering, also bowed his head to his prince, straightened his back, and laughed: "Even so, the younger one will take the first step."
After saying that, he took the palace servants and drove the ox cart filled with bamboo charcoal into the city.
The soldiers guarding the city gate tried to stop him, but were scolded by the captain on duty.
"Although this car is not owned by Prince Wei, Fang Erlang has just bought it. We have all seen it. I think all the officials entering the city also know that no one will cause trouble and make noise, please let it go!"
< br>
When the soldiers thought so, they ignored Prince Wei's convoy and ran to the city gate to direct traffic.
The captain touched his chin and looked at Fang Jun who jumped on the carriage. He felt funny in his heart. This second Fang was too bad...
Fang Jun's conspiracy succeeded, and he was secretly proud, but also a little entangled.
Why did I get myself confused step by step?
Although the purpose was to terminate the engagement with Princess Gaoyang, he first slandered himself and ruined his reputation, then made some inventions to make a big name, and then inadvertently made great achievements in annihilating Liu Heitai's remnants in Qizhou. This is already different from the original The routes vary wildly.
Well, we can also bargain with His Majesty Li Er based on our merits.
But now he has severely blackmailed King Li Tai of Wei. According to His Majesty Li Er's protective character, why should he become angry from shame? You should know that during this period, His Majesty Li Er was very likely to be inclined to pass the crown prince's position to Li Tai!
You can imagine His Majesty Li Er's anger because he ruined Li Tai's reputation in this way.
I’m afraid it’s useless no matter how great your achievements are...
How to bargain?
It’s good even if you don’t beat him to death...
********
On the first day of the thirteenth year of Zhenguan, although the sky had just turned white, the city of Chang'an was already full of lights, celebrating the festival.
Since His Majesty Li Er ascended the throne and changed the Yuan Dynasty to Zhenguan, the world has been in good weather, the officials have been in charge of the Qingming Dynasty, and the powerful soldiers of the Tang Dynasty have conquered the east and west, pacified the world, and established prestige outside the region. The country is peaceful and the people are safe, and the people are prosperous.
The signs of a prosperous age have quietly arrived.
The common people are the most practical. They don't care how you got the throne, whether you stole it or robbed it. Even if you kill your brothers or force your father to abdicate, it doesn't matter. The common people don't need a saint with perfect morals. They need a saint. What is an emperor who can make everyone have enough to eat!
Yang Guang has left us without food, so we will rebel against him! How great your achievements are has nothing to do with us!
Li Er makes us eat well, and we will follow Li Er to do what he wants. It doesn’t matter what you like!
The common people are like this, simple and realistic.
The royal road and the square in front of the Taiji Palace were already overcrowded. Officials from the three provinces and six ministries and departments all mobilized to gather the foreign officials responsible within their respective jurisdictions or foreign ambassadors, waiting to enter the Taiji Palace to meet the emperor.
With so many officials, it was naturally impossible for them all to be received by the emperor at once, so the entire dynasty had a fixed process.
According to the modern understanding of Fang Jun, the most important thing should naturally be the "international friends" from various foreign countries. No matter how big the family affairs are, they can't be bigger than these friends. International image is very important...
However, what a mistake!
The first wave of people to meet the emperor were the feudal officials from various places and the governors of various states, followed by the local officials of the state capitals, and finally the "international friends".
According to the schedule, it was already past midnight when the "international friends" entered the palace. They had been waiting for the emperor's reception since the morning. During this period, they had to stand in the square outside the Tai Chi Palace, without rice or water, and were so hungry that they felt like they were in the front. Back...
As for whether it will cause "surprise to friendly countries" and "international public opinion"?
Haha, the Tang Dynasty, from the emperor to the officials to ordinary people, never worried about this.
The people of the Tang Dynasty understood that respect and friendship were not spoken with words, nor were they inspired by the so-called "state of etiquette", but were killed with the swords in the hands of the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty and with the blood in their chests. Exchanged it back!
This is how we arrange it. If you don’t want to come, you can go back. No one invites you!
If you don’t accept it, then do it until you accept it!
The splendid Tang Dynasty shone brightly across thousands of nations, it was so domineering!
When Fang Jun's carriage arrived outside the etiquette department, he saw a row of yellow-haired and blue-eyed Wai Guoren lining up respectfully, waiting for the officials of the etiquette department to arrange the order of the audience. He felt a surge of pride in his heart!
This is a country with a backbone!
Fang Jun had already communicated with his father, Fang Xuanling, about his donation of Quyuanli this time, and Fang Xuanling also approved of his approach of presenting gifts at the court meeting. After all, auspicious times can add icing on the cake and maximize this achievement.
Fang Xuanling had already greeted the Ministry of Rites in advance. Although the officials of the Ministry of Rites did not know the details, who dared to neglect Fang Xuanling's words?
Fang Jun's memorial was delivered to the Ministry of Rites. When a foreign minister came out to greet him, Fang Jun got off the carriage and exchanged a few words with the official, who then personally arranged the order for Fang Jun's audience.
Such flagrant queue-jumping still caused dissatisfaction among some people.
"The Tang Dynasty treats our friendly ambassadors so slowly. It is simply insulting to politeness. Isn't it the way to treat guests?" One person rolled his tongue and said angrily in awkward Chinese.
Fang Jun looked over and saw that this man was wearing a robe with a large triangular lapel. The collar was decorated with round ornaments or buttons, and the collar opening revealed a little of the front of the clothes underneath. The robe is long and slender, all belted, with sleeves that reach past the hands, and the cuffs are inlaid with colorful brocade, making it look quite luxurious.
This man has a hook-like nose, deep-set eye sockets, thick curly yellow beard, and a pair of eyes with a light blue color.
He has a strong ethnic minority style, but Fang Jun doesn't know which country he is from.
But it doesn't matter, he just needs to know that he is from the Tang Dynasty.
Fang Jun squinted at the yellow beard and said in a mean tone: "I'm going to treat you like this, what do you want? Bite me?"
Such a tone, coupled with a carefree expression, almost made the yellow bearded man angry.
The official from the Ministry of Rites also couldn't laugh or cry. This frightened person's temper was really out of control... (End of Chapter)
